Definitions

  • the invention relates to a holding device for applying a sleeve to a cylinder, in particular a printing plate or rubber-coated sleeve, which can be pushed onto the cylinder through an opening in a printing unit side wall, which releases the cylinder from the side wall bearing before releasing the journal stored in this printing unit side wall supports.
  • Such a device is known from DE-PS 470 937 for a rotogravure printing machine.
  • a carrier arranged in the one printing unit side wall and comprising the journal bearing is lowered in the plane of the printing unit side wall after the cylinders have previously been gripped by an auxiliary device which supplies the sleeve parallel to the printing unit cylinder, i.e. was supported.
  • This allows the sleeve to be pushed onto the gravure cylinder via the journal bearing.
  • the carrier is then raised again against the journal bearing and the auxiliary device is removed.
  • the support of the cylinder is problematic in this known device, since it must be done either by an auxiliary device that can be moved up to the cylinder or on the outer wall by an auxiliary device that can be moved up.
  • a cylinder 3 is mounted between a right and a left side wall 1, 2 of a printing press, preferably an offset web-fed rotary printing press, the pins of which are conventionally mounted in a printing unit side wall 1, 2.
  • a pin here the pin 5 protrudes through one side wall, here the side wall 2, and preferably into the gear box 9 arranged on the outside of this printing unit side wall 2, in which the printing unit drive including the drive gear 8 for the printing unit cylinder 3 are arranged in the usual way.
  • the other printing unit side wall, here the printing unit side wall 1 has openings 6, 7 which is larger than the diameter of the cylinder 3, so that after removal of a bearing from this printing unit side wall 1, the sleeve 12 to be applied can be pushed on.
  • the holding device according to the invention for the application process of the sleeve 12 through the openings 6, 7 in the printing unit side wall 1 essentially consists of an auxiliary shaft 10 which is arranged in the gearbox 9 and runs approximately transversely to the pin 5 and extends on both sides into the vertical walls of the gear box 9 is mounted.
  • the auxiliary shaft 10 preferably has a recess or recess 11 in the middle, which run all around and can have an approximately trapezoidal cross section. With this recess 11, the auxiliary shaft 10 is placed on the pin 5 before the bearing of the pin 4 in the other printing unit side wall 1 is removed so that the sleeve 12 can be pushed on.
  • the auxiliary shaft 10 can be rotated by means of a square 17 on an axle journal, so that it first sits on the journal 5 and this vertically adjusted so that the desired position of the cylinder 3 is reached.
  • the setting can e.g. can be specified by an adjustable stop 15.
  • the auxiliary shaft 10 On the other side of the gear box 9, i.e. On the left side as shown in FIG. 2, the auxiliary shaft 10 has a thread on which on both sides of the side wall of the gear box 9 for the horizontal adjustment of the auxiliary shaft 10 adjusting nuts 13, 14 are arranged, which have a corresponding left / right shift as shown 2, whereby the cylinder 3 can be adjusted or fixed in this direction.
  • the cylinder 3 between the side walls 1, 2 can thus be brought into a defined position or held there, so that the problem-free application of a sleeve 12 through the opening 6 in the printing unit side wall 1 can be made.
  • a corresponding bearing (not shown here) is again used on the journal 4 in the printing unit side wall 1, after which the auxiliary shaft 10 can be slightly lifted from the journal 5 by rotating the square 17, so that the cylinder 3 or the journal 5 is freely rotatable again.
